Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing a substance or substance mixture which is situated in a container and rotates about the container axis, notably because of a mixing or stirring action. Owing to the disadvantages inherent in the prior art, the aim of the invention is to create a method which permits the gentle treatment of a fluid substance or substance mixture, by means of which the necessary energy can be introduced into the mixture without adversely affecting the quality thereof and which satisfactorily solves the problem of heat transfer without the need for complex technical apparatus. To this end the invention provides for substances located in the container (1) to be withdrawn from the container in the direction of their tangential speed component at a point (6) on the outer circumference of said container and to be returned to the container at a different point (12) of the container (1) in a direction of flow which is not opposite to the tangential speed component of the substances located in the container (1) at the point at which the substances are returned. The dynamic pressure difference between the withdrawal point (6) and the return point (12) in the container (1) is used to transport the substances circulating therein. Said dynamic pressure difference is obtained substantially from the tangential speed component acting at the withdrawal point (6).

Abstract: Apparatus for accumulating successive stacks of superimposed sheets on discrete pallets employs a conveyor which delivers a continuous imbricated stream of sheets to a stacking station where a pallet descends with an elevator and gathers a first stack. A separating finger is inserted into the accumulation of sheets at the stacking station at a level above the topmost sheet of the fully grown first stack. The thus obtained gap is increased by lowering the finger at a speed less than that of the elevator, the increased gap receives a positioning member which attracts the lower part of the growing second stack by suction, a table is inserted into the increased gap between the partitioning member and the fully grown stack, the fully grown stack and its pallet are withdrawn from the stacking station and replaced with a fresh pallet, the table and the partitioning member are withdrawn from the stacking station so that the growing second stack descends onto the second pallet, and the above-enumerated sequence of steps is tereupon repeated.

Abstract: A method for performing a cell reselection in a system comprised of a hierarchy of cells, wherein cells of one layer of the hierarchy have a size that differs from cells of another layer of the hierarchy. The method includes steps of (a) identifying to a user equipment a layer to which individual cells in a neighbor cell list are associated; (b) when performing neighbor cell measurements for reselection purposes, avoiding a measurement of cells in the list that are larger than a current serving cell unless a Cell Selection (S) parameter falls below a search threshold parameter (Ssearch), and is greater than zero; and (c), if S is less than or equal to zero, and no cell reselection to a better cell is in process, beginning a measurement of neighbor cells without regard for their hierarchical level. If the user equipment has made cell reselection to N different cells on the same hierarchical layer within a time Tmax, the user equipment initiates a reselection procedure for larger neighbor cells. This procedure accommodates user equipment that is moving at a relatively high speed through the cells. If the user equipment locates a larger cell, which fulfills cell reselection criteria Sn>0 and Qn>Qs+Qoffsets,n+Qhyst for a period of time Treselection, cell reselection to the larger cell is made. Furthermore, if the user equipment performs a cell reselection to the larger cell, the user equipment does not attempt to reselect to a smaller cell within a time X, unless an immediate cell evaluation is triggered, wherein the time X can be pre-specified, or can be set by the network.
